Males display a vivid golden-yellow body with striking red-edged fins — a bold crimson border running along the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins that creates a dramatic, jewel-like contrast against their warm base colouration. One of the more sought-after Apistogramma species in the hobby, the Red Edge is a true collector's fish that rewards experienced fishkeepers with fascinating behaviour, strong pair bonds, and outstanding visual impact in a well-planted aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Size: Minimum 80L; best kept as a pair or harem (one male to two or more females) in a species-focused or soft water community setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Parameters: pH 5.0–7.0 | Temp 24–29°C | Soft, warm, slightly acidic water essential — sensitive to hard or alkaline conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Omnivorous — high-quality micro pellets and small granules; supplement with frozen or live daphnia, baby brine shrimp, bloodworm, and small invertebrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Peaceful toward dissimilar species; males territorial toward each other and may display aggression when breeding — provide plenty of caves and visual breaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Setup: Heavily planted aquarium with soft substrate, driftwood, leaf litter, and multiple caves or coconut shells for spawning; dim lighting and tannin-stained water strongly recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate–Advanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Size: 7cm (males); 4–5cm (females)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52575034212674,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/0128\/8258\/files\/DAB8C89D-AE08-4548-83B2-F0E7D8759BE6.jpg?v=1774139460","url":"https:\/\/chloesaquaticcentre.com.au\/products\/red-edge-apistogramma-vietita","provider":"Chloe's Aquatic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
